Scientist Rankings in Psychiatry & Psychology, 1997-2007

May 2008

The data below were Based on data in Essential Science IndicatorsSM. This database, currently covering the period January 1997 to October 2007, surveys only journal articles (original research reports and review articles) indexed by Thomson Reuters. Articles are assigned to a category based on the journals in which they were published and Thomson Reuters’s journal-to-category field definition scheme. Both articles tabulated and citation counts to those articles are for the period indicated. Naturally, scientists publishing large numbers of papers have a greater likelihood of collecting more citations than scientists publishing fewer papers. This ranking is by total citations. For articles with multiple authors, each author receives full, not fractional, citation credit. Another ranking could be based on citations per paper, which reveals weighted impact.

Essential Science Indicators lists authors ranked in the top 1% for a field over a given period, based on total citations. It can be noted that Biederman and Faraone were frequent co-authors on a number of highly cited papers dealing with ADHD. Keck and McElroy were also frequent co-authors of a number of highly cited papers concerning schizophrenia and bipolar mania. In addition to ADHD, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and autism were the other dominant subjects of papers by the authors listed in the table. For the current version, 2,190 authors are listed in the field of psychiatry and psychology, meaning that a total of approximately 219,000 author records were reviewed to obtain these results.
